No Easy Days
I love to hear about discord-- and actual democracy-- breaking out during live performances of the Republican and Democratic National Commercials. Occupy members have been marching freely on the streets of Tampa this week-- outside the warm confines of their designated Free Speech Cage, and today, the Ron Paul brigade, with clothespins fastened to their noses, demonstrated loudly when the Mitt Romney campaign attempted to re-write party rules. It's kind of an important rule that was up for strangling also: Turns out the front running candidate is NOT allowed to discharge delegates they don't want. NOT allowed. I'll be darned. Don't you protesting nitwits know that the only political theater allowed at these events is the kind orchestrated by campaign media staff? It's called choreography, goddammit!
Here's hoping for-- but not expecting-- more of the same in Charlotte. At least the Republican Party has rebels.

Major League Baseball extended its television partnership with ESPN today until 2021. This is good news for MLB owners and the players' union. The National Hockey League found out what happens to coverage of their sport on "The Sports Leader" when their contractual partnership comes to an end. It's great news for the Boston Red Sox. This agreement assures the American League team of being the top story in baseball-- winning season or losing-- for the next decade. I wonder what Bobby Valentine, manager of the 62-67 Red Sox, had to say about all this. See you over at ESPN.com for the answer. And then ESPN Boston. And then Grantland.
